“YES, there is life beyond being a PM”

EVENING LEARNING & NETWORKING EVENT

How do you make that transition from project manager to consultant or, from being a project manager to tapping into your dream job that may not be related in any way to project management?

Be in the driver seat of your own career and use the skills and tools that served you in your project manager role to support your success as a consultant or, an entrepreneur in a field of your choosing. Learn how to apply your PM technical, leadership and strategic & business management skills to support your life/career transition.

Please join us for an inspiring discussion on how to take your project management toolkits and venture into the arena of consulting or new areas.

Learn to manage your career ambitions as you would a project portfolio – aligned with your values and vision for your future.

This presentation will:

1. Share how to transition into a portfolio career (consulting and the dream job).

2. Provide techniques for goal setting strategies to align with career ambitions.

3. Focus on how your project management skills can be used during career/life transition.
